Web Audio API
- low-level access to all things audio
- create sounds
- manipulate sounds (filters)
- timing sounds precisely
- tons of other cool stuff (spatial audio, audio analysis)
"Building a collaborative music production environment using emerging web standards"
Analyzing audio editors
- years of development and best practices
- common interface patterns
- minimum feature sets
Garageband
Ableton Live
Reason
Analyzing audio editors
- timeline (left to right)
- previews, depending on content
- tracks as rows
- recording, importing, drums, synth

Wait, there's one more thing:
Collaboration
- Remote band brainstorming
- Auto-save and auto-backup
- sadly not offline...(sorry, Team Hoodie)
Demo Time
Live Music Performance
- Use instruments and use API as amp and for effects
- Live-code the music (see livec0d3r)
- Use MIDI devices to control your application (e.g. Ableton Live)
The Glitch Mob
Broken Haze
Web MIDI
- MIDI != MIDI background songs
- Protocol for digital 'instruments'
- Early stage API
